NPanday

Overview

Apache NPanday is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

NPanday is a project to integrate Apache Maven into .NET development environments. It includes both a Visual Studio add-in to integrate Maven, and a set of plugins for Maven that can build .NET projects uniformly from the command line.

NPanday enables you to use Visual Studio with a Maven-based development infrastructure, including:

  • continuous integration servers for scheduled or triggered automated builds
  • source control systems for assistance with the release process
  • build artifact repositories for inter-project dependency management and centralised management of build output
